Rose Taft

Rose Taft Couture has been experiencing over four decades of continuous growth and expansion. Now in its 45th year, Rose Taft is the true industry leader among special occasion manufacturers.

Rose and Philip Taft founded Rose Taft Couture in 1963. The late Rose and Philip Taft began their careers years ago as couturiers in an elegant gown salon in Long Island, New York. With Rose as the designer and Philip with past production experience, they proved to be an immediate success. In 1965, after designing custom gowns out of their retail store for an expanding customer base, they decided to venture out into a larger facility. They opened a proper sales office, located in the fashion capital of the world, New York and purchased a factory in Florida. Philip took charge of all production leaving Rose to devote full time to the design and sale of her creations. A full time staff was hired to work out of the New York sales office, while the Taft’s remained in the main facility in Florida. The concept of the company has always been to design and manufacture couture eveningwear in their very own factory. Their vision was never to be a studio line, but rather a full line production house.
